Hi I am wondering how hard it is to become an audio engineer I am 14 and I love music but I really wanna be a singer when I grow up so I think I can get closer to music by doing this what are y’all’s thoughts
Hey Maddie. It's much easier to become an audio engineer these days, there's lots of resources on the internet, just like this one. But if what you really want to be is a singer, go and take some good singing lessons, the sooner the better! You can be both no problem :)
Being an audio engineer is hard work. Some people find it easier than others, but learning to be an audio engineer will take a lot of time away from other things even if you are naturally good at it (or maybe, especially if you are good at it because it becomes an obsession!).
If you really want to be a singer, I would say to focus on that more. If you start learning to sing correctly earlier in life then you can train your voice easier. It gets much harder to learn to sing when you are older. Voices don't get better with age. You can learn audio engineering later if you still want to, but if you have a talent for singing, do it now.
Also, it's OK to start out trying to copy your heroes but it's better to try to find your own voice. Everyone's voice is different so just be yourself.
Hi Soundgym Family! This is always my favorite stop of the day. I have a different type of feedback request I am hoping you can help me with. I recently started a YOUTUBE channel for audio engineers where I am hoping to put up content that deals more with skill building and decision making. I am only two videos in but being in front of a camera is far from natural for me as is being brief with my words.
I was hoping for some insight as to length, and the amount of content in the video. I simply love discussing audio and can kinda run on and on...I am also a huge Harry Potter fan if the shirt doesn't give it away,,,,
I understand just how busy everyone is, so if you are reading this and thinking about offering me some insight....Thank you so much.
I really like your videos. Although I'm not an audio engineer I can find value there for improving my mixes. I like the make not just some mixing tips, but more in-depth videos about different techniques and also about how to think about the work, the physical side, and all of that. I personally prefer videos about 10 to 15 minutes. 20 minutes is the maximum I think. If it's a longer video, you really start to consider if it's that interesting topic for you to watch it. Hope to see more interesting videos about mixing from you soon!
Some of you might remember me from the early days of the SoundGym community or from collaborating on the Hero articles feature. I'm excited (and a bit nervous) to share something with you all.
Music has always been a huge part of my life. I’d even say it saved me.
Growing up in a rather challenging environment, music became a refuge for me. It was where I could unravel and express emotions and experiences that words alone couldn’t capture.
Over the years, that feeling drove me to dive deeper into music, eventually leading me here to be part of the SoundGym team and help shape the amazing tools we use daily!
But as time went on, the challenges I faced left a mark I couldn’t ignore.
I found myself wanting to understand more about the inner journey behind those moments and how my past shaped who I am today and influenced my vision for the future.
This journey led me to explore not only my own experiences but also the broader human adventure.
I've recently started an Instagram channel where I share my thoughts and insights regularly (and I’ve got some cool surprises in the works too!).
Your support would mean the world to me, so if you're up for following along and seeing what's next, I'd be thrilled to have you there.
Hey, Yohai! After all the SG & TG Heroes you've convinced (for good) to open our doors to both communities, it was time for you to allow everyone to learn a little more from you, wasn't it? 😬 Although I'm not a regular user of any social media, I'll be following your Instagram channel to find out what are you 'cooking' there... I truly hope you can show more of your house, because that stairway to your living-room is quite impressive, according to this pic...😜
I wish you the best at this project. Good luck!
PS. I completely forgot to confirm the arrival of my Championship T-Shirt: sorry about that!
